Thank you for the explanation.

Unit power of Pelton wheel = P/H^3/2 so 1750/100^3/2=1.75KW.

Unit power is power by water can raise head for 1 meter.

Then,
We can apply the formula to find the Unit power as below:

Unit Power = p/H^3/2.
=1750*1000/100^3,
=1750000/1000000,
=1750 W,
=1.75 KW.

I agree, thanks @Kapil.

Thanks all of you.

Unit power= (Outpur power/H^(3/2)).

Hence 1750/1000=1.75.

Unit power = P/[H^(3/2)].

= 1750 * 10^3/100^(3/2).

= 1750 W.

= 1.75 KW.
